Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"The general asked Zhicai to tell the Prime Minister that if the Prime Minister took the initiative to attack, then the five-year agreement would no longer count."

Xi Zhi was released by Li Huiyi, and it was considered to be a face and a warning to Cao Cao in the battle of Jingzhou.

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought for a moment and asked, "Then according to Zhicai's words, how should we do it?"

Xi Zhicai replied with a smile: "Join the battle in Jingzhou and seek as much profit as possible, because Li Jun's joining is inevitable, and the Prime Minister must not be ready for a large-scale battle."

What Xi Zhicai said was correct. Facing Li Huiyi's threat, Cao Cao had no choice but to compromise and lose as little as possible.

If Jingzhou is still stable right now, Cao Cao may be able to join forces and still have a chance of winning. Right now, I am afraid that he does not have much resistance.

After Cao Cao heard this, he thought about it and asked, "Zhicai, what else did Li Huiyi say?"

Xi Zhicai said calmly: "He said that the prime minister had better surrender, and he will keep the Han family, and will never kill them all."

"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed and said, "So confident, he is still the same Li Huiyi back then, but the truth is not to that extent."

After a burst of wild laughter, Cao Cao ordered: "Pass down the order, the three armies prepare for war, and enter the Jingzhou battlefield at any time."

Li Huiyi just came back from the show, and Cao Cao knew very well the message he conveyed cryptically, so he just wanted him not to touch the bottom line.

Another meaning may be that he still wants to fight again, so that Cao Cao will completely lose his fighting spirit and choose to surrender.

Since Li Huiyi was so confident, Cao Cao also chose to fight one more time. Anyway, no matter how bad the result was, how bad could it be.

Now that Cao Cao had made up his mind, everyone in the hall left one after another, each performing their duties, and prepared to wait for an order to send the army to the Jingzhou battlefield.

We haven't seen each other for many years. After everyone left, Cao Cao left behind Xi Zhicai, ready to have a good talk to see if he could gain a new understanding of the situation.

Chatting about some interesting past events, Cao Cao suddenly changed his tone and asked: "Zhicai has been in the north for these years, is there anything that impresses you?"

Cao Cao's words seem to be curious, but the real meaning is to express some unknown things in the north.

But let alone, Xi Zhicai did know a lot of Li Jun's secrets when he came back this time, but he didn't want to tell Cao Cao very much.

It wasn't because of treason, but because he was afraid that Cao Cao would lose his determination to fight if he found out. Xi Zhicai wanted to start a war between the two sides, and only after the layout was complete did he tell the story.

Now that Cao Cao asked about it, Xi Zhi hesitated whether to say it or not.

That's all, anyway, sooner or later you will know.

Xi Zhicai asked calmly, "Dare to ask the prime minister, what is the key to winning a battle?"

Ok?

Xi Zhicai asked the last question inexplicably, Cao Cao was unprepared for a moment, fell into a discussion curiously, and then said it without confirmation.

"The soldiers are fine and the weapons are good, the time and place are right and the people are harmonious, and there is a commander in chief. I don't know the ambition to ask this. What do you mean?"

"Prime Minister, don't worry, we will find out later." Xi Zhicai nodded and replied, "Compared with Li Huiyi, the Prime Minister has those advantages."

This one, there are really not many, the soldiers are fine and powerful, there is no need to compare them, only the last few, there is still some hope.

"The right time, the right place, and the right people, change with the times, and the leading generals are not lacking in their true colors. It's not like Li Huiyi is incapable of fighting."

Hearing Cao Cao's answer, Xi Zhicai said, "Zhicai was sent by Li Huiyi to inspect the northern counties two years ago."

"It was my honor to witness Li Jun's training. One of the battalions, named Shenji Battalion, used weapons that could cut mountains and rocks, and the number of troops continued to increase."

"Also, before Zhicai left, Li Huiyi had started to prepare for disarmament, leaving only foreigners and a large number of cavalry, and carried out recuperation in the north in advance."

Cao Cao has listened to the Shenji Camp hundreds of times, and ordered his skilled craftsmen to imitate it, but the progress has not been great.

At this time, he heard that Li Jun had begun to equip the army on a large scale, and his face was unprecedentedly dignified.

If facing Li Jun who used all the weapons of the Shenji Battalion, Cao Cao could imagine the consequences. As long as the two sides fought head-on, it would definitely be a massacre.

Before the world was in peace, Li Huiyi started to disarm. Obviously, he was fully confident. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be to his own side. After all, there is also a logistical factor that affects the war.

According to Xi Zhicai's theory, if he wants to win Li Huiyi, he may only hope for less than [-]%, and there must be a miracle.

Cao Cao asked slowly, "Did Li Huiyi let you see these?"

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Yes, Li Huiyi's intention is very obvious. He wants the Prime Minister to lose the courage to start a war. Zhicai wanted to inform the prime minister before the battle begins."

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and said helplessly, "Hui Yi, what a weird person, Zhicai, what should you do with the truth?"

Cao Cao obviously didn't have self-confidence, so he asked this question. After Xi Zhicai heard it, he comforted him: "The prime minister is a great man, and he surrendered without a fight. Wouldn't it make future generations laugh at him?"

"Zhicai believes that even if you are defeated, you have to fight a battle, fight with people, fight with the sky, know that you can't do it, but fight hard, so you don't want to live in the world."

"It's a good one to do it knowing that it can't be done." A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, and the previous decadence was swept away. "Okay, then let's fight."

Seeing that Cao Cao regained his fighting spirit, Xi Zhicai nodded in satisfaction. This is the master worthy of his wholehearted pursuit.

As Cao Cao began to prepare, Sun Ce of Yangzhou had arrived at the border of Jiangxia, and followed him, including Zhou Yu and most of the generals in Jiangdong, who seemed to want to bite the biggest piece.

Jiang Xia's defenders, Huang Zu and Liu Qi, were at odds with each other, but they had to join forces when faced with the invasion of foreign enemies.

Since Liu Qi's arrival, Jiang Xia has been divided into two forces, and they often have conflicts with each other. Although they are united at this time, the accumulated problems for a long time make it difficult for them to unify and coordinate.

In order to avoid the unhappiness of both sides, Jiangxia City Defense has a clear plan, Huang Zu is in charge of the water area, and Liu Qi is in charge of the city.

Chapter 765 Sun Ce took advantage of the fire to rob

Sun Ce's army rested for a day, and then rushed to attack. The generals under his command took turns to attack fiercely, without giving the defenders any chance to breathe, as if they were bound to win.

But Jiang Xia was originally used to guard against important places in Yangzhou, and all supplies such as troops and food were sufficient. If he wanted to take it quickly, there was not much hope at all.

After several days of strong attack, Sun Ce's army suffered heavy losses, and the general Ling Cao and his brother-in-law Xu Kun all died under the arrows of the rebel army, and their morale was low for a while.

Faced with Sun Ce's fierce attack, Huang Zu was still a little afraid and worried at first, but he did not expect to win, and he couldn't help feeling contemptuous in his heart.

In addition, Liu Biao from Nanjun kept sending people to attack Nanyang County and force Liu Bei to return to help. Huang Zu had the idea of ​​counterattack.

On this day, Sun Jun came to attack normally. Huang Zu changed his usual defense and took the initiative to send troops out to meet him.

Seeing Huang Zu sending troops to fight back, Zhou Yu, who was still a headache and unable to defeat the enemy, was overjoyed, so he quickly advised the army to retreat and lure the enemy to go deeper.

Sun Ce accepted it, and immediately ordered people to wave the flag to make the navy in front turn around and retreat.

The retreat of the water army is not as easy as the army, especially when the two armies have already confronted each other, but these generals still obey Sun Ce's order.

Sun Jun retreated, and the entire formation was in chaos. Chen was overjoyed when he saw this, so he was willing to give up this great opportunity, and quickly ordered Zhang Shuo to entangle him tightly, preparing to defeat Sun Jun in one fell swoop.

Seeing Chen, he really went after him. Zhou Yu had a big smile on his face, and said to Sun Ce who was a little anxious:

"Bo Fu, Yu already has a plan to defeat the enemy. Now, he only needs a strong general to lead dozens of warriors to infiltrate the enemy army. He should cooperate with the inside and outside to capture the gate of the water village. He will surely be able to capture and kill Huang Zu and capture Jiang Xia in one fell swoop."
